The NBA Finals has been played at the end of every NBA and Basketball Association of America season in history, dating back to 1947. The championship series was originally named the BAA Finals prior to 1949 when the BAA merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA. It was initially held during late March until early April until 1970 when it was changed to occur in late May or early June depending on when Easter holidays occurred. As of 2019, Game 1 of the Finals is scheduled for May 30 and will end no later than June 16—a span of 17 days or 2 weeks and 3 days.

The Eastern Conference has historically dominated the Western Conference in terms of winning percentage and number of championships won, but since 1980, when Magic Johnson and Larry Bird began playing in the league, there has been parity between the two conferences. Currently, neither conference holds an advantage over the other; as of 2019, each conference has produced 23 NBA Finals champions, while two teams have relocated from one conference to another while winning a championship (the Minnesota Lakers won 5 championships while located in the West before moving to Los Angeles and winning 5 more as a member of the Western Conference; likewise, the Brooklyn Nets were previously known as the New Jersey Nets and won 2 Eastern Conference championships before moving to Brooklyn).
